USyoo-AHNZ/juˈɑnz/UKyoo-ANZ/ˌjuːˈænz/
- 1Plural of yuan. Less common than the plural yuan.
The vendor counted out the yuans and handed back the change.

Note
A regular English plural added to a borrowed currency name. Suzanne Labin, writing in 1960, describes a young worker in Shansi who "earned thirty yuans a month." The -s plural belongs to the money sense of yuan. The dynasty and the surname are names and do not normally take it. After a numeral, the unmarked yuan is the more common plural, so thirty yuan is the safer choice in careful writing.
